Faber felt convinced that the “ insulæ Phlegyæ ” were Atlantis. But all such allegories are more or less distorted echoes of the Hindu tradition about that great Cataclysm, which befell the Fourth, really human, though gigantic, Race, the one which preceded the Aryan. Yet, as just said, like all other legends, that of “ the Deluge has more than one meaning. It refers in Theogony, to ''pre-cosmic transformations'', to ''spiritual correlations — ''however absurd the term may sound to a scientific ear — and also to subsequent Cosmogony ; to the great flood of waters (matter) in chaos, awakened and fructified by those Spirit-Rays which were swamped by, and ''perished ''in, the mysterious differentiation — a pre-cosmic mystery, the Prologue to the drama of Being. Anu, Bel, and Noah preceded Adam Kadmon, Adam the Red, and Noah ; just as Brahmâ, Vishnu, and Siva preceded Vaivasvata and the rest.” (See “ ''Isis Unveiled.'',” Vol. II., pp. 420 ''et seq.'', where one or two of the seven meanings are hinted at.) | Faber felt convinced that the “ insulæ Phlegyæ ” were Atlantis.

All this goes to show that the ''semi''-universal deluge known to geology (first glacial period) must have occurred just at the time allotted to it by the Secret Doctrine : namely, 200,000 years (in round numbers) after the commencement of our fifth race, or about the time assigned by Messrs. Croll and Stockwell for the first glacial period : ''i.e.'', about 850,000 years ago. Thus, as the latter disturbance is attributed by geologists and astronomers to “ an extreme eccentricity of the Earth’s | All this goes to show that the ''semi''-universal deluge known to geology (first glacial period) must have occurred just at the time allotted to it by the Secret Doctrine : namely, 200,000 years (in round numbers) after the commencement of our {{Style S-Small capitals|fifth race}}, or about the time assigned by Messrs.
